The '100-point Grange Collector's Edition' houses magnums of both the 2008 and 2010 Penfolds Grange vintages in a specially crafted presentation case.
Celebrated as two of the finest vintages in an unbroken lineage, both of these exceptional wines have been awarded 100-point scores by acclaimed critics. This year marks the 100th birthday of the Grange's visionary creator, the late Max Schubert to whom this special offering is dedicated. A first for Penfolds, this twin magnum release is a superb offering for the serious collector and those who wish to mark a significant occasion with these generous and enduring wines.

With over 165 years of winemaking experience, the Penfolds winemaking tradition is both firmly established and well proven. It is a way of life; no more evident than in the fact that most members of the winemaking team have worked over twenty vintages each at Penfolds.
Experience has created a tradition of excellence, which in turn has led to the production of quality Australian wines, recognised the world over.
Penfolds has managed to create a truly unique and distinctive winemaking signature the Penfolds stamp, of which every member of the Penfolds winemaking team is immensely and justifiably proud.
Launched in 1998 with the 1995 vintage, Penfolds Yattarna Chardonnay is the result of one of the most comprehensive, focused and highly publicised wine development projects ever conducted in Australia. The aspiration and independence of mind across generations of Penfolds winemakers inspired the winery to embark on a program to create a white wine that stands alongside the standards of Penfolds Grange. Selectively sourcing only the very best Chardonnay fruit from cool-climate regions, coupled with sensitive and enlightened winemaking, the style continues to evolve. Yattarna reflects Penfolds patience and continued commitment to its original goal, its very name being drawn from the Aboriginal language, meaning 'little by little, gradually.' Each vintage provides the opportunity to further raise the quality bar.
